Chapter 16 Void Conch
After destroying the Akron gang with one hand, Marvin became rich overnight.
He has never been a stingy person to spend money, especially in necessary places. Anyway, those silver coins are not spent now, and the collapse of the monetary system caused by the catastrophe in half a year will turn them into a pile of scrap iron. It is better to exchange for something useful.
Especially those wizard gold coins. They are even more valuable. If you don’t have to go out before the monetary system of the Southern City-State collapses, it will be a waste.
Marvin knew this well, so he disguised himself as the Rangers Union before leaving River Beach City.
The Rangers Union is actually a very simple organization, publishing some tasks, neutral and occasionally doing some business.
Marvin checked the taskbar of the Rangers Union, and did not have the task of clearing the Scarlet Monastery that appeared half a year later - this means that the group of Scarlet waiters are still relatively peaceful now, and their strength is still within a controllable range - as for the sleeping demigod lich, Marvin has long put his mind on him.
It is said that he failed to be the gods and fell into a deep sleep. In fact, he just failed at the last moment. He successfully condensed his divine nature.
And that divine character is now lying quietly in the underground maze of the Scarlet Monastery.
This god Marvin is determined to win, but it is not now. His strength is too weak now, even the sleeping demigod is enough to kill him in seconds.
...
The Rangers Union owns the Alchemist House counter of the Wizards Alliance, where he spent a lot of money to buy essentials. The most important of them is a Void Conch.
【Void Conch】
Quality: Glimmer
Accommodation: Four-foot cube space
Requirements: Intelligence 10
Obviously, this is a storage item. Void conch is the most common among all storage items because its raw material, Azure Conch itself contains several dimension spaces, and only needs a little processing to turn it into a qualified alchemy product.
Of course, this thing is very valuable and costs Marvin 3 wizard gold coins!
As for the same low-light items, storage equipment is always more expensive.
Another thing worth mentioning is [Ruyi Rope]. It is also a low-light product, with a price of 1,600 silver coins, which is much cheaper than Void Conch.
This is a multi-functional rope, which is said to be written by the high elves. According to various spells, the rope can play multiple roles and is one of the equipment that adventurers desire most.
Unfortunately, ordinary adventurers can't afford glitter items.
With more than a thousand silver coins, they may not have made so much money in their entire lives.
Marvin is naturally different. He didn't think much about buying Ruyi ropes, because this piece of equipment was the most important reliance for him to enter the Scarlet Monastery.
Without it, he could not pass the painful monk's level at the entrance of the monastery.
...
The remnant of the Hall Mountains, on an unknown mountain.
Marvin carried two swords in his hand and had a Void Conch hanging around his neck, walking carefully on the rugged mountain road.
The wilderness of Fernan World is a very dangerous place. Fortunately, after the catastrophe, the wilderness of the mortal world was full of monsters infected by chaotic magic. These creatures are called monsters, which have more powerful destructive power and more bloodthirsty than before.
Even many cities were destroyed under the impact of these monsters.
In Marvin's memory, River Beach City is one of the few cities in the southern city-states that have not been captured by monsters. The reason is also very simple. Like the Gem Bay in the north, it is the birthplace of large players. The power from the players helped to resist a large number of monsters, River Beach City was preserved.
But in this life, Ma Wen had a vague premonition in his heart that those players who were hailed as "Son of Gold" by the Aboriginal Sect will probably not appear again.
In this way, it is still a question whether Hetan City can be defended by its own strength alone.
However, before the catastrophe, the vicinity of Riverbank City was quite safe. Especially on this mountain, because of the faint suppression of the divine nature, creatures with a little animal instinct would not approach it.
This has relieved Marvin a lot of the burden.
Marvin walked along the path, and soon, a misty valley appeared ahead.
There is the main entrance of the Scarlet Monastery.
Two painful monks with an iron rod of more than two meters stood solemnly. Looking from a distance, they looked like a statue.
In fact, they were not originally alive, but once outsiders approached, they would be activated by the magic of the lich.
What Marvin needs to face at that time is two third-level professions with a profession level of [Monster 5/Ascene 5/Painful Monk 2]!
The melee ability of the Painful Monk is one of the best in the third-level profession, not to mention the curses that the demigod lich threw on them - each curse is a super BUFF. If you want to kill these two guys head-on, at least a legendary figure will have to take action.
Or dispatch a second-level profession in a legion.
At some point, the human sea tactics are still very useful.
...
Ma Wen was not going to enter through the main entrance, he was tracing the backyard path.
The Scarlet Monastery is built in a valley, with cliffs on both sides of the valley, and there is no place to climb.
But there are exceptions in everything.
Marvin knew that there was a goblin cave. After destroying several goblins entrenched inside, he could find a prominent small platform.
Then he can use the Ruyi rope and he can airborne the Scarlet Monastery.
It's just that it's a bit risky.
In addition to the Scarlet Waiter, there are monsters like the Demon God Executor in the Scarlet Monastery. The Scarlet Waiter has a fixed range of activities, and the Demon God Executor - these guys like to cross the line and often run around, which adds a lot of unstable factors to Marvin's infiltration plan.
But what does not require risk?
Marvin walked around the valley and found a path to swim up the mountain.
Half an hour later, he found a hidden entrance behind a pile of hays.
Goblin caves often contain six to eight goblins of varying numbers. They may have weapons in their hands, but most of them are crude weapons, mainly sticks.
The average level of goblins is about level 2, and only those large goblin tribes can have more than one goblin professions.
Before Marvin took office, he might not even be able to beat a goblin. But now, after the Battle of Pyroxene Tavern, he has already raised his ranger level to level 4. Diaphis and his men have joined forces to contribute a considerable killing experience, so that Marvin quickly became a level 4 ranger.
Just a few days ago, he was still a nobleman with no power. If others knew about this rocket-like upgrade speed, they would definitely be shocked.
Now Marvin has 90 health points. He bought a suitable leather armor from the Rangers Union, which can resist some attacks and ensure that his flexible skills are not affected. This time, he also obtained 24 skill points of his own, so his skill points have accumulated to 42 points.
Marvin assigned 20 of these points to the new skill [Climbing].
In fact, if you want to use ropes to enter the Scarlet Monastery, you need at least 30 climbing skills. However, Ruyi Rope comes with hidden attributes that reduce the climbing skills requirements by 10 points, so Marvin only allocates 20 points. The remaining 22 points are for later use.
...
He pushed aside the grass and bent over and walked in.
Use flint to ignite a simple torch that was also purchased at the Rangers Union, and a trace of fire appeared in the cave.
A strange cry came from the depths of the cave.
Ma Wen killed in unceremoniously with a torch in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand.
Half a minute later, a few green-skinned corpses lay in the depths of the goblin cave.
These goblins are all barbaric species, and their wisdom has not been enlightened, so they cannot reason with them. Their strength is low and they quickly become corpses under Marvin's scimitar.
The goblin cave contains the unique stinky odor of this creature.
Most people would leave directly. But Ma Wen still searched carefully about whether there were treasure chests or spoils nearby.
He knew that goblins were usually poor, but he did not rule out any unexpected situations.
Extra care sometimes leads to unexpected gains.
Marvin finds a complete box in the corner of the goblin cave.
The box was locked, and the copper lock seemed to have been destroyed by someone trying to use brute force - no need to guess, it must be the masterpiece of those goblins.
"There was mud on the box, and they probably dug it out of some nearby swamp."
"There is an enchantment on the copper lock, which is a magic lock. However, the magic power is very light and the level is not very high."
"What's hidden inside?"
Marvin hesitated for a moment and took out a small stack of scrolls from the Void Conch.
This kind of reel is valuable and is called [low-level unlocking reel], which is used to replace the thief's lock-opening skill.
There are two types of lock-opening reels, one is used to open ordinary locks, and the other is used to open magic locks, which is particularly expensive. Marvin bought ten scrolls with ordinary locks, and as for the scrolls for open magic locks, he only bought five.
In the Scarlet Monastery, there are many places where treasure chests are hidden. Marvin's goal is these hidden treasure chests.
He was not sure whether the goblin's small treasure chest was worth his use of a low-level scroll with magic locks.
"Anyway, in my memory, before the Second Hall, there seemed to be only three treasure chests that were magic locks, and the rest were ordinary locks."
"There is a [Corpse Seeker] wandering in the second hall. I am so at this level now that I definitely don't dare to pass."
"Why not try it."
Marvin made up his mind and tear off a low-level lock-opening reel that opened the magic lock.
A pale white key flew out of the paper and inserted into the copper lock.
With a ding dong, the lock was opened.
Ma Wen listened with his ears, and there should be no mechanism inside, but for the sake of caution, he still stood in the distance and used a branch to open the treasure chest.
There was indeed no vicious trap in the box.
Marvin breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over.
I saw a few yellowed parchment paper and a blue gem lying quietly in the three-foot-sized treasure chest.
